FUTURE SEMINARY PROJECTS

Acquisition of vehicles to transport seminarians to their different activities.

At the moment we only have a 5-passenger pick-up truck and an 8-passenger van: the seminary has a total of 23 people at the moment and we expect more candidates in the future.

We are looking for 2 15-passenger buses and 2 cars to allow the mobility of the trainers.

Construction

Construction of the bell tower.

A bell tower would complete the construction of the Sanctuary of the Word and the Chapel, following the new aesthetic of the Neocatechumenal Way. This bell tower would be similar to that of other Redemptoris Mater seminaries like Macherata, Albania, Denver, etc.

Estimated cost: $20,000

Prayer space to the Blessed Virgin Mary


We will build a space in order to increase our devotion to the Holy Virgin Mary and honor her with songs after the prayers of the Office of the Hours.

Estimated cost: $10,000



Expansion of dormitories for sisters in mission.

The bedrooms of the sisters who help us in the seminary are too small and it is necessary to expand them in order to give them a more comfortable and dignified place.

Estimated cost: $30,000

Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament.

We want to build a chapel for the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament where the seminarians can find a place of recollection and personal prayer separate from the spaces that are destined for liturgical prayer.

Estimated cost: $15,000

Construction of the elevator.

More and more brothers are visiting the seminary and many have problems with climbing the stairs. Sisters on mission also need an elevator more and more for their daily work. For this reason we must install an elevator in the seminary to facilitate visits and daily work in the house.

Rennovation of interior spaces

New meeting room.

In line with the new aesthetics and in order to allow better use of the seminary building, we need to renovate some areas such as the meeting room and the main entrance. In addition, it is necessary to widen the sidewalk at the entrance and the dining room. That is why we need to acquire furniture and materials.

Estimated cost: $5,000

Kitchen renovation


After 19 years and with the increasing number of seminarians, the kitchen in our house needs an improvement to convert it into an industrial kitchen.

Estimated cost: $10,000

New furniture for the seminarians' bedrooms.

The seminarians' bedrooms need new furniture (beds, cabinets, desks, shelves) to give them a more dignified stay in line with the purpose of the new aesthetic of showing these young people the paternal love of God.

New liturgical vestments.

After 18 years, the seminary needs to renew the liturgical vestments so that the celebration of the Eucharist and other liturgical actions reflect the solemnity of what we celebrate and are signs of our gratitude to the God who has redeemed us.

Estimated cost: $12,000
